But what if the storage devices are full? That could block deletions too.

Ugh, backup issues are the worst. I'd probably start with the logs, see if there are any clear error messages. If not, then I'd move on to checking the storage devices. And if I'm still stumped, reaching out to support would be my last resort.

I think I'd try the storage device check first, just to rule that out. If that's not the issue, then the logs would be my next move. Hopefully I can find something useful in there!

Okay, let's see. I'd start by checking the appliance's storage devices to make sure there's enough free space. Then I'd look through the logs for any error messages that might give a clue about what's going on.
